Description of problem:
I copied about 130 gigabytes of data to a maxtor firewire drive, formated with
FAT32.  I ran the unmount command to unmount the drive and the system then hung.
 Ctrl-alt-backspace had no effect and neither did ctrl-alt-delete.  I could ping
the machine, but when I tried to ssh to it nothing happened.  I waited a while
thinking maybe some i/o was still happening but the system remained frozen.

Sounds like kernel...?
Comment 2 Bugzilla owner 2004-09-30 15:40:05 UTC 
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
